Description
Blumberger Mühle nature reserve has a NABU-Naturerlebniszentrum with a visitor centre, exhibitions, a restaurant and more. Behind it, there is a small park with nature trails, gardens, small reed ponds, a playground and hides overlooking the fishponds. There is also an outdoor enclosure with European Pond Turtles.
The fishponds are a good place to see ducks, waders in autumn, especially Zlatni vivak and Belorepan can often be seen year-round. Ždral roost on the fishponds in autumn. In summer, Crna roda often visits the fishponds and a high number of Mali gnjurac breed here. In winter it is a good place to see Mali labud among the many Veliki labud.
The area around the visitor centre has many species of gardens and open landscapes to offer: several warbler species, Mali slavuj and sometimes also Veliki slavuj, or Rusi svračak and Konopljarka. The Blumberger Mühle also hosts a breeding pair of Potočna pliska. Further common species are Vodomar, Velika bela čaplja and Bela pliska.
